This is going to make it a whole lot more difficult to ask for a vintage color pattern re-issue because I contacted my dealer about a custom sail and he emailed a color palette that has 13 sail cloth colors, with four shades of red. With these colors available many of the old patterns may be reproduced as a custom sail, except the ones with the prism stripe.

Go nuts!

Could you post the current color pallet? I'm curious if it would be possible to remake my boomer sails.

I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy new sails for my 16 in the next year or so. I wish there were more options.

Take a look at the six colors in Hobie's sail loft now: White, red, blue, green, yellow, gray. If you're getting new sails and don't like the patterns offered off the shelf then take some initiative and creativity and spend the extra couple bux and get a custom pattern. I'm thinking of doing it for my 18. I'd like a red, white, yellow pattern. Maybe a blue, white, yellow one?

Shoot. . . a stock Hobie sail already stands out from the crowd, why not stand out in the Hobie crowd? Maybe you can get some ideas from here:

Eat your hearts out!!! Upper Management (aka "my wife") approved an order for a custom sail!!! I've revived sail pattern number 51 from the pattern history guide. Now I'll be bringing up the rear of the racing fleet in style instead of boring white.

Congrats Skipshot instead of the new sail why don't you just buy my Tiger. I have a new sail coming with my new boat.

Are you trying to ruin my marriage? I already have two mistresses made of fiberglass and aluminum.

Dude I have 2 Hobies in the garage. A remote control cat in the spare room. A 16 hull hanging in the living room. I also have a new boat on order.
